Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1879

"I—"

Before he could formulate a response, Juniper slammed the door shut right in his face.

Immediately, the muffled sounds of their hushed whispering drifted through the wood.

Shanley stood frozen for a few seconds before sighing in defeat and dragging himself to the guest room, pillow in tow.

"Sir, are you sleeping here tonight?" Dana asked, pausing her cleaning to look at him in utter confusion.

"Mhm."

Shanley answered grimly, tossing the pillow onto the bed. "I need to go cut some fruit for them."

"Of course."

Dana couldn't hold back a smile. He looked exactly like a tragically neglected husband.

——

That night.

After finishing dinner, Juniper and Coralie leaned against the headboard, engrossed in a mobile game.

"Is that fox Shanley going to be mad that I stole his spot?"

Coralie asked without taking her eyes off the screen.

"Definitely."

Juniper raised an eyebrow, letting out a soft laugh. "But he doesn't dare voice a single complaint."

Otherwise—

He might not even get the luxury of the guest room.

"Excellent!"

Coralie threw her a thumbs-up, thoroughly impressed. "That's exactly how you train a man."

"Obviously." Juniper curled her red lips into a proud smirk. "Shanley is incredibly obedient now."

Except for when he conveniently went deaf in the bedroom.

"I see."

Coralie smiled, but her thoughts suddenly drifted to Channing.

Speaking of which.

Her pretty boy was quite obedient too.

Ever since she snapped at him last time, he hadn't dared call her for two whole days.

She wondered how things were going with his blind date.

It must be going wonderfully.

A date today, an engagement soon, and then marriage...

In the very near future, they'd have children together.
